Domain, Linksys, Clearwire internet, W2k Server

[johnsam]

Hi, I am trying to setup home network using.
W2k server as a domain ---CAT5----> Linksys ------> Clearwire internet
PC1 ---------CAT5----------------------^
PC2----------CAT5----------------------^

----------- On the server W2k (Domain already setup) ------------
I set static IP address

ipconfig /all
Host name.............................................. sever
Primary DNS Suffix ...................................homenetwork
Note Type.............................................. .Hybrid
IP Rounting Enabled ..................................No
Wins Proxy Enabled...................................No
DNS suffix search list ................................homenetwork
Ethernet Adapter Intel Pro 1000 MT -- on board:
Connection specific DNS Suffix :
Description ..........................: Intel Pro/1000 MT

Physical address......................................: 00-A8-E8-
DHCP Enabled ........................................: No
IP Address ............................................: 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask..........................................: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway ....................................: 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers ..........................................: 192.168.1.10
Primary Wins Server ................................: 192.168.1.10

I checked the DHCP server is authorized and active.
I checked the services DHCP server is Started in the (Services)
DHCP Server scope is 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.100
Excluded 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.20
Ping 192.168.1.1 is working
Ipconfig /release on server....... No adapters bound to TCP/IP are enabled for DHCP



----------------- On Linksys -------------------------
I have DHCP enable Starting IP address. 192.168.1.100 number user: 50
I have Dynamic Rounting: Gateway enable (Not rounter)
TX: Disabled
RX: Disabled
Static Rounting on Linksys is left blank.
DMZ Host 192.168.1.0

Ping 192.168.1.0 is all LOST (On server machine)

The Question is: What did I do wrong?
How come the DHCP, Wins, IP rounting on the server not enable?
No internet connection as you can see no WAN address listed

On the server machine, First you need to check all DHCP, DNS, WINs server IP address point to your PC Box (Server. make sure They all have the SAME static IP address, unless you have different pc for each server) In this case, 192.168.1.10
Go to Start ---> Programs ---> Administrative Tools ----> DNS
Double click on Forward Lookup and delete the "." (Delete the dot)
Try to ping www.yahoo.com or open the internet(Now you have access to the internet)

On the PC1 (anywork group pc) you just need to restart and log back in and get access to internet (Make sure you log into the Domain with user name and password that already created on the server in Active Directory Users and Computers)
I did not touch anything on the Linksys as the above setting is ok (for now).

---> Now I am trying to setup the file server so it can share file.
At the Server machine, I went into F:\ Drive to setup a folder and right
click on the folder and share that folder with anyone permission
Start ---> Program ---> Administrative Tools ---> Distributed File System
Right click on Distributed file system ----> New DFs Root. (Follow the
Wizard default). Then I right click on new created root folder and grand access to everyone full control.
I'm stuck right here. I go to my PC1 and try to access the folder in My Network Places. I can't access "Server cannot access or Don't have permission" I can see my server in the Microsoft Network Places, but cannot open it.
Does anyone know how to setup the File Server (Steps by steps) to share the file between the Domain Server and the PC clients? Please help.

Why are you using DFS in a one file server network?

Try just sharing the folder via the old fashion method.

But if you must use DFS.....

Here is some info on DFS (http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows2003-Distributed-File-System.html) more DFS (http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/007e4e66-af67-4bfe-bf70-780412aeed6f1033.mspx?mfr=true).

Hope this helps :)
